Note: The “Move Over Act” requires motorists on multi-lane highways provide an empty lane between them and emergency vehicles parked and displaying visual signals. The law also requires you to slow to 20 mph below the posted speed limit, if unable to move over to another lane. Move over, slow down and keep your emergency workers safe!
